AEC Workflow Audit · From A$1,500

Find where your AEC firm is leaking time and margin.

LeakMap is an operational efficiency diagnostic for architecture, engineering, planning, environmental, surveying, and design-led AEC firms. Through structured staff interviews, process mapping, document review, and AI-assisted analysis, it finds where your firm is losing time and margin, and where AI and automation can recover the most of it. The output is a clear view of what to fix first and a practical basis for implementation.

Audits start from A$1,500. The first 30-minute consult is free for anyone.

The leaks you cannot see

If a pipe was leaking in your office, you'd fix it that day.

You wouldn't wait, wondering if it was worth fixing. Every hour it drips costs you more. Your AEC firm has exactly the same kind of leaks. They're just invisible.

A business leak looks like this

A proposal response rebuilt from old files because the right source is unclear
A project report reformatted for hours when a reusable structure should exist
A handoff from project manager to accounts that keeps creating rework
A team member searching for past project evidence while a deadline sits waiting
Scope changes and non-billable admin that never get properly measured
Staff pulled into repeated clarification conversations because ownership is fuzzy

The maths matters

Ten staff. Two leaking. Up to $60,000 a year, gone.

At an average salary of A$80,000, a ten-person team costs A$800,000 a year. If just two of those employees are losing 20% of their productive time to unclear processes, unnecessary back-and-forth, or broken handoffs, you are already losing A$30,000 to A$60,000 annually. Without knowing where to look.

How the LeakMap audit works

We do not hand you a survey and a spreadsheet. We do the diagnostic work with your team, then give you a prioritised, actionable report. It starts with a free 30-minute consult.

01

Structured staff interviews

We speak with the people doing the work, not just managers, to understand where time actually goes across proposals, reporting, project coordination, and admin.

02

Process and document review

We review the workflows, handoffs, templates, reports, proposal assets, and tools involved to identify where duplication, rework, and unclear ownership are hiding.

03

AI-assisted analysis

We analyse patterns across the inputs to surface the biggest leaks and rank process, document, knowledge, and automation opportunities by likely impact.

You are planning a workflow improvement or system investment
You want an outside view before committing to a bigger engagement
